newbie-help with Montblanc xl chrono 7750

[davis3]

Hello, my first post.

BTW I have learned more in reading some of this forum than any other watch forum i belong

to.

Unique situation: I purchased a gen Montblanc XL sport chrono 7750 "parts" on ebay.

model # 03274.

it included a case , crystal, bezel, dirty-somewhat corroded 7750 movement , dial, hands.

It was missing: crown, stem, caseback, gasket, and about 8 parts to the 7750 including the weight.

(in my estimation a new movement is called for plus you cant buy the signed weight)

Condition: case- tore up- tube threads burred, top thread for caseback damaged. [censored] for

gasket damaged -but could be dremeled ok..... looked kind of like this watch

dropped in a grinder or something. pushers work fine.

crystal good, bezel ok-some damage on trim ring but serviceable.

so basically, to build this,I need:

a. new movement

b. case back and gasket

c. crown and stem

d. repair of parts to make them serviceable.

so, my questions are these:

a. in your opinions, would a rep montblanc have a crown , caseback that would fit a gen case?

I cant afford gen parts nor do i know an independent watchmaker who can purchase gen parts

only from the service center and not charge me a fortune.....

b. would an asian 7750 movement work till i could afford a gen 7750 movement?

are there different grades of asian 7750's? like pearlage etc.

c. best place to buy the best quality rep of this model.

d. best place to purchase a gen 7750 movement for down the road.

any help is appreciated.

Ihave lots of pictures but not sure how to upload yet.

thanks in advance for replys.
